Biennial Inspection
Published 10/05/23A chance to demonstrate the skills learned through being in the school’s tri-service Combined Cadet Force (CCF) for students in Year 10 at their Biennial Inspection. Commander Anthony Pimm from the Royal Navy carried out the inspection, which started off with a Parade before he toured the school watching the cadets in action. The Royal Naval cadets showed him how they assemble (and take apart!) a field gun. Army cadets showcased shooting in the school’s indoor range and cooking in the field and the RAF demonstrated the school’s flight simulators. Also on the day’s itinerary were command tasks and patrolling skills/field craft. Thank you Commander Pimm!

But the rain wasn’t going to deter the students, who kept on running, with just one aim – to get as much paint on a crisp, white T-shirt as possible! The Front Field was a sea of red, white and blue as students raced around the athletics track wearing Union Flag sunglasses and waving flags in what was the ultimate in messy, colourful and fun.

King is Queen of London Marathon
Published 24/04/23She did it! PE Teacher Emily King completed an epic run yesterday in the TCS London Marathon, in just four hours and two minutes. Mrs King signed up for the gruelling 26 mile run in memory of former Gordon's Director of Sport and friend, Steve Monk who also served in the Army PT Corps. Crowning her fantastic run was the news that she had also raised £6,000 for ABF The Soldiers' Charity through generous donations by students, parents, staff and friends of Steve Monk. After the run, Mrs King said: “I can’t thank everyone enough for all their support and generous donations to The ABF. It was an awesome day, tough but an incredible and unforgettable experience and the support all the way round was amazing! I was proud to run in Steve’s memory and I know he was with me every step of the way”. Donations can still be made to Mrs King's Justgiving page here.
